yeah i was told about this game about 2 years ago, it has good graphics and is not bad to play apart from all the traing (first aid tests lol and the MOUT house is a pain in the arrse).
Battlefield 2 is better but i have vista now and can't seem to get online.
I'm a beta tester for the game (edit: America's Army, that is). If anyone has any questions, I could probably answer them, as long as the it wouldn't violate my NDA.
Damn, this is probably a bad place to make my first post. But I haven't been through many yet, and it's the first one I came across that I thought I could add to...
I've been playing this game on and off for about 2 years. Love the game, it is a recruiting tool yes, and they're now doing something which is called VAE (Virtual Army Experience) which is the frame of a HMMWV kitted up to the game on a big screen. http://www.americasarmy.com/
You can play, upon completing all training, as Special Forces, Regular Soldier, or as Indigenous Forces, although i wouldn't recommend IF.
I ditched it for Battlefield 2. Not bad but it's a bit creepy and propaganda-ey.
That said it's not as disturbing as that Royal Sigs Winds of Change flick I had to watch on TAFs 1 the other week......
So we had army recruiters come to The Citadel... or should I say a load of hired models in skimpy outfits who just stood around while us and the AROTC staff thrashed each other on computers with the game on.
Becoming typical of US recruiting, absolutly no usefull informaion whatsoever, just flash and awe, gets annoying when you're actually trying to ge some info to make an informed decision.

Folks! I just spent most of the day downloading and installing America's Army having been rather impressed by it at DCMT, Shriv. Yeah - I know how sad that makes me...
Does anyone else play this?
That's all I'm going to say before I lapse into truly sad geekery!
yeah iv been playing it a bit too, just cos its free to download! its the ultimate walt game isnt it? you get to have a virtual online army career hehe.
